If you look at the Australian Women Marathon List for 2022 (Top 3)
1, Senead Diver 2:21:34 born in 1977 So Age 45 in 2022
2. Lisa Weightman 2:24.00 Born in 1979 so Age 43 in 2022
3. Eloise Wellings 2:25.10 Born in 1982 so Age 40 in 2022
All These Times Were LIFETIME Personal Best's for these runners
Depending on the Month they were born ,When they ran these times, Maybe Subtract a Year, So These Stats Make it CLEAR, Australian Women Marathoners are in Their Primes at an older Age than people from most other Countries.

There was another thread that I've locked to new posts. I didn't like it as the 2nd post just said, "Doped to the gills.". Look if you want to say, "I find it highly suspicious that she can do this at age 45 "and then provide somme logic, that's fine. But you can't say, "She's doped to the gills" as a fact and then not provide an explanation. You can say you think she is and then explain why but just labelling all fast times as doping is crazy. There were some good posts like that.
Here is the first post in that thread. It was titled: "45 year old Sinead Diver is likely faster than you despite…"
I think it makes a difference though that she never ran in her so-called prime years. So these are her prime years. And she'd probably have a better PR if she had peaked at 34 but maybe not cause the shoes and training would be different.
Also Lagat's marathon is not his best distance so that's not a good comparison.

These are her prime years? Oh please. I suppose maybe she could have waited until 50 and then really tore up the record book.
Right, comparing the M45 world record and the F45 world record is “not a good comparison” - brilliant insight.
if “not running in prime years” were an important piece of setting 45+ world records, wouldn’t you think the male 45+ record holder would also be, you know, someone who didn’t train in his prime years?

Sure. In her prime she would have run 2.09. She is 46 after all.

I set a pb at 45. Some of us are ageing well. Deal with it.

Is your name Benjamin Button? Or were you just a hobby jogger in your twenties?

Kinda missing the point. Setting a PR at 45 is one thing, a WR is another. Based on other WRs for 45+ she would have had to have been capable of obliterating Paula Radcliffe’s record in her prime.
i know it’s a nice inspiring story and all and that’s why no one wants to question it. Did you know Allyson Felix is a mom?

Just because you are a decrepit walking corpse with no hips of your own, it doesn't mean other people aren't having a better life.
You jealousy and insecurities are corroding you. Good.
